   services, purchase, obtained, considered or leased, or other purchasing or

You should be aware that whenever you publicly disclose information online, that
information could be collected and used by others. We are not responsible for
any action or policies of any third parties who collect information that users
publicly disclose in any such forums on the websites.


HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect and use your personal information to:

 * manage stakeholder feedback programs on behalf of our customers (e.g., tenant
   satisfaction surveys, resident satisfaction surveys, employee surveys, broker
   perception surveys)
 * provide products and services to our customers such as benchmarking and
   consulting
 * analyze the performance and functioning of our websites, manage our websites
   and collect analytics about how our websites are used

We may keep any of your personal information on file and use it to contact you
if your owner or management company requests additional services from us.

If you are a business client, we use the personal information that we have
collected from you to market to you.  If you are individual survey respondent,
we do not use the personal information that we have collected on behalf of our
customers to market to you.

We also use de-identified or anonymized information for other purposes.


HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We have implemented reasonable security procedures and technical and
organizational measures to protect personal information against accidental or
unlawful destruction, loss, disclosure or use. Only authorized Kingsley
personnel and third party service providers are provided access to personal
information, and these employees and service providers are required to treat
this information as confidential. Despite these precautions however, we cannot
guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your personal
information.


HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may retain your personal information for a period of time consistent with the
original purpose for collection.  For example, we keep your personal information
for no longer than reasonably necessary for use of our products and services and
for a reasonable period of time afterward. We also may retain your personal
information during the period of time needed for us to pursue our legitimate
business interests, conduct audits, comply with our legal obligations, resolve
disputes and enforce our agreements.

When personal information is no longer needed for the purpose it was collected
or processed or to comply with a legal obligation, we securely destroy it.


HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not sell, rent or lease our customer lists to third parties.  We do not
sell or otherwise disclose personal information that we collect over our
websites or as otherwise collected in connection with our services, except as
described herein.

We may disclose information about you to the following categories of third
parties or in the following circumstances:

 * With third party service providers who perform services and functions on our
   behalf to support our interactions with you, such as conducting statistical
   analyses, sending you emails or postal mail, and providing you with customer
   support. Additionally, personal information collected on our websites may be
   shared and transferred to our third party service providers that service or
   host our websites;

 

 * With our customers, for examples, we share the information collected in
   response to our surveys or benchmarking efforts with the customer that hired
   us to conduct the survey or benchmarking;
 * If we are required to do so by law or legal process;
 * To law enforcement authorities or other government officials;
 * When we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical
   harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or
   actual illegal activity;
 * If disclosure is necessary to protect the vital interests of a person;
 * To protect our property, services and legal rights;
 * To prevent fraud against Kingsley, our subsidiaries, affiliates and/or
   business partners;
 * To support auditing, compliance, and corporate governance functions;
 * To comply with any and all applicable laws; or
 * To complete a corporate transaction such as a re-organization, merger, sale,
   joint venture, assignment, or other transfer or disposition of all or any
   portion of our business.

Where required by law, we have put in place legal mechanisms designed to ensure
adequate data protection of your personal information that is processed by
Kingsley’s third party service providers, including the transfer of your
personal information to countries other than the one in which you reside. By
using any of the websites and providing information on any of them, you
voluntarily consent to such trans-border transfer and hosting of such
information.


HOW WE TRANSFER PERSONAL INFORMATION ACROSS INTERNATIONAL BORDERS

Kingsley participates in the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks
(“Privacy Shield”) administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the
collection, use and retention of personal information from European Union member
countries and Switzerland.  Our participation in the Privacy Shield subjects it
to the investigatory and enforcement power of the Federal Trade Commission.  You

Associates at https://www.privacyshield.gov/list.

As a Privacy Shield participant, we are committed to and has certified that we
adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles for all personal information received
from the European Union and Switzerland in reliance on the Privacy Shield.  If
there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Statement and the
Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern.

 * We may share personal information that is subject to the Privacy Shield
   Principles with service providers who collect and host personal information
   in cloud-based environments and who provide services that support the
   business activities that we conduct on behalf of our customers. We may be
   liable under the Privacy Shield if service providers process such personal
   information in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield and we are
   responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
 * We may disclose personal information received in reliance on the Privacy
   Shield in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to
   meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
 * European Union or Swiss individuals have the right to request access to
   personal information received by us in reliance on the Privacy Shield, to
   request the ability to correct, amend or delete inaccurate personal
   information, and to exercise choice in limiting our use and disclosure of
   such information.  European Union or Swiss individuals who are interested in
   exercising their right and choice, please contact us at the address, phone
   number or email address below.
